The Hand

Jack has a quirk. For a long time, we wondered if he would ever grow out of it. He likes to look at his hand. When he is overwhelmed, looks at the hand. When he is excited, looks at the hand. When he hears loud noises, looks at the hand. Last summer when Jack was around large groups of people, I would glance over at him and sure enough, looking at the hand. People would often comment "oh! he found his hand!" Like how a newborn realizes they have hands and feet. Nope, not Jack. It's just one of his quirks.

He doesn't do it near as often anymore, but when he does, it's because something unique is happening. I pulled out my camera, and he held up The Hand. I wonder what he's thinking?
